Reading edition

Some time after the happenings above mentioned, this chief constructed a large heiau on the farther side of this hill, on the makai side, and people died there frequently. When a person died, he was buried on this side, and because the dirt slid down when graves were being dug, on account of the great number of the dead buried there, this side was named Puuheehee.52 There are some graves on this hill, those of the brothers of Kamikioi, wife of Nuhi of Auwaiawao.
